Don't you see -- so much of man's vaunted intelligence is required simply t transmsit and receive information. Each of us has a wall of isolation, of ignorance, to transcend. We have no direct communication, and so we have to master complex verbal codes and symbolic interpretations, merely to get our thoughts and needs across. With such second-hand contact, no wonder a powerful cerebral backstop is necessary. But the manta mus have virtual telepathy, one glance, and communication is complete. It needs no real intelligence.
